Abstract The effect of light on the size of intact protoplasts isolated from the primary leaves of etiolated Triticum aestivum was studied. A 2-min red-light irradiation in the presence of 1 mM KCl was sufficient to cause a swelling of protoplasts compared with those maintained in darkness. The effect was photoreversible by far-red light over two light cycles, indicating the involvement of phytochrome. At 4°C, escape from reversibility occurred between 2 and 5 min after the exposure to red light. In exposure-response experiments, 20 s red light at 27 μmol m-2s-1 was sufficient to saturate the response. Exogenous gibberellic acid added in darkness in the presence of KCl also induced protoplast swelling. Gibberellins may act as an intermediate in the phytochrome-induced swelling of protoplasts.
